Radio Health Journal will be broadcasting a segment featuring Dr. Karen Cassiday discussing School Refusal. This episode originally aired in 2011, but received so much positive feedback that they have decided to air it again.

The start of the school year and returning from spring break are the two most common times for children to suffer from what used to be called “school phobia,” anxiety leading them to claim they are ill and cannot go to school. Experts discuss how these children should be treated, and how they differ from children who are simply “playing hooky.”
